(grammar) The first of the two nouns in status constructus, which occurs in a phonetically abbreviated state. For example, in Hebrew, the word "queen" standing alone is malka מלכה. When the word is possessed, as in "Queen of Sheba" (literally "Sheba's Queen"), it becomes malkat šəba מלכת שבא, in which malkat is the construct state (possessed) form and malka is the absolute (unpossessed) form. Thus, the possessed noun in the construct state (Queen) is the nomen regens (governing noun), and the possessor noun, often in the genitive case (Sheba's), is the nomen rectum (governed noun).

(colloquial) bush regeneration.

plural of regenerative thermal oxidizer

A type of thermal oxidizer for treating air pollutants of all types, especially VOCs and odours, by burning the gases in an oven at about 800ºC for about 1 second, while recuperating nearly all of the heat generated from the combustion of said pollutants to pre-heat the entering polluted air using a ceramic heat exchanger, thus greatly reducing energy costs. Often called an RTO.
